syntax is as follows: "external" "0" "5" "notice.sh"
notice.sh is: #!/bin/sh echo 'I've been run.' > xmailproc.tab Above is one of many variants I've tried and as near as I can tell by the example in xmailuser/mailproc.tab and the docs should be valid syntax. The tabs are as real as vi can make them and I've gotten a redirect to work first try through so I doubt that to be the problem. Is there any chance logging this kind of stuff (succeed or fail) could find it's way on to the TODO list? It would at least help in diagnostics. I've checked permissions and XMail is running as root in my little dev/test server. Thanks for the help. --David On Thu, 2002-04-11 at 12:47, Davide Libenzi wrote: > > On 11 Apr 2002, David Smith wrote: > > > > > Hi. > > > > I'm using Xmail 1.7 on a Mandrake 8.2 box and am having trouble getting > > any external commands to work from mailproc.tab.
